360 Virtuals business fundamentals are pretty simple and are based on what my father taught me;  if you’re going to do it, do it right the first time.  When you choose 360 Virtuals for your virtual tour provider, you will be getting my very best efforts!

An instant love for photography came over twenty five years ago, when my father presented me with my very own, brand new, state of the art, Konica FT-1 camera.  While the camera has since been replaced, the love for photography still remains.

My search in 2005 to join the digital photography revolution proved a couple of things.  One, the darkroom is a computer and second there are no limits to photography and where the imagination can go.  In this no limit, digital photography, I found there was actually no limit on how wide an image could be.  360° panoramic imaging was something that sparked my immediate interest.  With the interest, came research on panoramic imaging, which eluded to submersive, interacting, virtual tours.  “How to create a virtual tour” from a google search seemed to be my daily reading for a couple of months.

The research pointed me in the direction of a super wide camera lens.  With the purchase of a Canon Rebel and a Sigma 8mm fisheye lens, I was ready to “move reality”.
